That night, Ye Ying fell asleep holding Xiao Wu.
The feeling really was different.
But nothing could possibly happen.
They were still too young at this age.
After leaving Xiao Wu a pouch of Gold Soul Coins, Ye Ying and Tang San left the dormitory and met Yu Xiaogang.
"Not bad. Let's go. Time to set off."
While most of Notting Academy's teachers and students were still asleep, one tall figure and two shorter ones had already walked out through the academy gates.
Oh, and there was also a fox—Blue Silver Fox—slowly following behind them.
Tang San asked Yu Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, where are we going to find soul beasts?"
Now that the two were a man and a woman in a relationship, she naturally could not call him Teacher anymore.
"We're going to the Soul Hunting Forest, four hundred li northeast of Notting City. It's a place where the Empire raises soul beasts."
"We'll definitely find something suitable for both of you."
Yu Xiaogang wore a fitted outfit today, making him look somewhat more heroic.
Yet his stiff face still gave people a discordant feeling.
When Ye Ying learned last night that Yu Xiaogang was taking him to hunt soul beasts, he agreed without a second thought.
If he did not follow these two, how could he make modifications and obtain rewards?
As for danger, Ye Ying was not overly worried.
There were no particularly powerful soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest.
Even if they encountered danger, with the system's modification ability, he could easily protect his life.
Along the way, Yu Xiaogang continued teaching Tang San theoretical knowledge about soul beasts.
But to Ye Ying and Blue Silver Fox, what the hell was all that?
It was all common sense.
Yu Xiaogang did not hurry out of the city with the two people and one fox. Instead, he headed further into the city.
Yu Xiaogang said, "We need to prepare some things before hunting soul beasts. Besides, we can't walk there."
"Four hundred li isn't too far, but it's always better to save time."
The group bought plenty of dried rations and water flasks in Notting City, ensuring they would have food later on.
Ye Ying did not have so many worries when it came to eating.
After all, his martial soul could produce food and drink anytime, anywhere.
Still, he prepared quite a bit of dried rations.
After buying everything, Yu Xiaogang immediately hired a carriage, and only then did they head for the Soul Hunting Forest.
After getting into the carriage, Yu Xiaogang continued explaining all kinds of theories to Tang San.
But Ye Ying was not listening at all. He was busy with something else.
Based on the theories he had received as rewards before, he was deducing a set of soul master cultivation techniques and spiritual power cultivation techniques best suited to himself, preferably even with a matching body-tempering cultivation technique.
The Trinity Cultivation Method was the strongest approach, without any weaknesses.
It was said to have been created by a system host who possessed a version 1.0 system.
Yu Xiaogang turned to look at Ye Ying.
His eyes were closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
Yu Xiaogang froze. He wasn't listening to him?
If Ye Ying did not submit to him, how was he supposed to take him as a disciple?
This made him seem utterly useless, You didn't think I had no real skills, did you?
Looks like I won't be able to convince you to become my disciple unless I show you something genuine.
He pulled out a beautiful-looking belt from somewhere. Twenty-four milky-white gemstones were embedded in it.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Yu Xiaogang cleared his throat, snapping Ye Ying out of it.
Ye Ying glanced at Yu Xiaogang. You talk to Tang San about whatever you want. I'm busy deducing things.
Why were you interrupting me?
Was that the so-called Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night?
[Yu Xiaogang introduced the storage belt with its twenty-four storage gems, then showed it to Ye Ying, hoping to convince Ye Ying to take him as his master...]
Since you woke me up, don't blame me for altering it.
This time, he removed one word.
"This is a Storage Soul Tool. You only need to inject Soul Power into it to use it. Each of its gems provides one cubic meter of storage space."
Yu Xiaogang introduced the storage belt's capabilities.
Tang San kept examining it as well. Each piece of jade was only the size of an adult's thumbnail, round in shape. Their color was warm and lustrous; they were clearly rare, fine jade.
Was this the gift her husband wanted to give her?
This was simply wonderful.
Twenty-four jade gems meant twenty-four cubic meters of storage space. For her, that meant room to store twenty-four kinds of Hidden Weapons.
With this belt, she would no longer have to worry about storing her Hidden Weapons.
Tang San had already held out her hand to accept it.
The next second—
"Ye Ying, this belt is for you."
Then Yu Xiaogang grabbed the belt in his hand and stuffed it into Ye Ying's arms without allowing any objection.
Tang San's outstretched hand froze instantly.
It wasn't for me???
Ye Ying had removed the word "show."
[Modification successful. "Show" deleted. Points +1. Current Points: 282.] [Yu Xiaogang introduced the storage belt with its twenty-four storage gems, then gave it to Ye Ying, hoping to convince Ye Ying to take him as his master...]
He had originally only wanted to show it to Ye Ying, but now it had directly become a gift for Ye Ying.
Tang San was dumbfounded.
Blue Silver Fox was dumbfounded too.
"No, Grandmaster, how could you give this belt to Ye Ying?"
"You should give it to Tang San."
"Isn't she your disciple?"
Tang San grabbed Blue Silver Fox and swung her palm hard across her face.
"Bullshit!"
"That's my husband. What teacher?"
"Do you think I'm some disciple who betrays her master?"
Blue Silver Fox was even more stunned. Had they really become husband and wife?
Then what about Liu Erlong?
Blue Silver Fox continued shouting.
"No matter what, give this belt to Tang San first. You have to give it to Tang San."
"Make it a Love Token between the two of you."
This belt still had some use later on—it would allow Flender to identify her identity.
It was also an important Storage Soul Tool for Tang San later on.
Blue Silver Fox felt that since she had said it, everyone else should listen to her.
She was the protagonist. Everyone should revolve around her.
"I've noticed you're awfully talkative."
"People usually give rings or bracelets or something."
"Who uses a belt as a Love Token?"
"Besides, when my man is handling things, what right do you have to speak?"
Tang San put more force into her right fist, then skillfully punched Blue Silver Fox in the head.
The next second, Blue Silver Fox passed out cold.
By now, Tang San was already extremely practiced at throwing punches.
Tang San had once cherished her teacher dearly; now, she cherished her old man just as dearly.
Hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang felt somewhat awkward as well.
That was right, he really should give Tang San something, but all he had left now was this Soul Tool Storage Bracelet.
Everything he owned was inside it.
"Little San, I'd forgotten about this. Once we get back to Notting City, I'll buy you a Soul Tool Storage Bracelet."
Tang San nodded obediently, completely unlike when she had just beaten up Blue Silver Fox.
"Okay."
Blue Silver Fox was practically crying herself to death.
